Lord George Gordon Byron

Here you will find the Poem Martial, Lib. I, Epig. I. of poet Lord George Gordon Byron

Martial, Lib. I, Epig. I.

'Hic est, quem legis, ille, quern requiris, Tota notus in orbe Martialis,' &c.


He unto whom thou art so partial,
Oh, reader is the well-known Martial,
The Epigrammatist: while living,
Give him the fame thou wouldst be giving;
So shall he hear, and feel, and know it--
Post obits rarely reach a poet.
